Thing is many cultures liked using feathers for clothing, I mean theres a few birds out there so feathers, yeah... even europeans though mostly for the shaman class, if you are gonna use feathers in your armour you may as well charge in your birthday suit instead, that blue paint will do the job.
I got a lifetime garentuee on that woad (blue paint), saves your life or your money back :P

I am of course being facticious ... fac...err... sarky af :P

Feather cloaks, in antiquity were primarily in tropical and subtropic regions as far as I know, this seems more like a Game of Thrones kinda thing.

The Vikings used duck feathers for two applications:

1) For pillows

2) For the collar lining of winter cloaks

There's an article from 2018 from the Department of Archaeology and Cultural History at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) University Museum that explains this in pretty good detail.
